    Appendix 2 London Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – Thursday 21 March 2019 Transcript of Item 5 – Questions to the Mayor Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): We now go to the questions to the Mayor which are set out in the priority order paper. 2019/6251 - Brexit Andrew Dismore AM Given where we are on Brexit, what do you consider the implications are for the London economy and for Londoners? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): On 14 February [2019] Members of Parliament (MPs) voted to reject the Government’s bad Brexit deal. Last week MPs voted again to reject the very same bad Brexit deal. It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister thinks that MPs should get a second or even third say, but not the British public. Over and over again, Government has failed to deliver promised breakthroughs from its hopeless Brexit negotiations. This deal would worsen life chances and reduce opportunities in London and across the UK for future generations. The Prime Minister needs to put our city and our country first and withdraw Article 50. It is time to give the public the final say on Brexit with the option of remaining in the European Union (EU). With our partners in the London Resilience Forum, I have taken the steps we can to ensure the capital is prepared in the event the UK leaves the EU with no deal in place. However, the Government’s uncoordinated approach to the planning for a no-deal has made this very difficult. For many businesses, it has been nigh on impossible for them to plan ahead.

The question-and-answer session will be divided into two parts. The Assembly will ask questions of Philip Kolvin QC, former Chair of the Night Time Commission, in the first part of the session. In the second part of the session, the Assembly will ask questions of Kate Nicholls, newly appointed Chair of the Night Time Commission, and Amy Lamé, Night Czar. Each session will start off with a leadoff question from me as Chairman. Up to two hours has been allowed for the overall session. Welcome, Mr Kolvin. Philip Kolvin QC (Former Chair of the Night Time Commission): Thank you, Chairman. Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): You can make a statement and then I will give you the leadoff question. Philip Kolvin QC (Former Chair of the Night Time Commission): It is very kind of you to give me that latitude, Chairman, but I really am here just to answer questions by the Assembly Members and give them such assistance as I am able to give. I am not here with any agenda to push or any line to run. I am just laying myself open to questions from anyone who wants to ask them. Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): Very brave. The leadoff question is this: what is your assessment of the Night Time Commission based on your tenure as Chair? Philip Kolvin QC (Former Chair of the Night Time Commission): Chairman, from its first meeting in mid-October 2017 until the end of my tenure three months later, the Commission, which comprises 26 expert individuals from across the public, private and third sector, had made excellent progress and laid down firm foundations for its future work.

The consultation took place between 29 June and 23 August 2016. This report explains the background to the proposal, the consultation and summarises the responses received. 1.1. Our proposals Route 691 currently runs between Richmond Road, Ham and The Hollyfield School, Surbiton. It runs one journey from Ham to The Hollyfield School in the morning with one journey from The Hollyfield School to Ham in the afternoon. Following a review and to make better use of our resources we proposed that route 691 would no longer run. There are currently around 90 trips per day made on the 691. Passengers who currently use route 691 between Kingston and The Hollyfield School would be able to use either route 281, 406 or 418 instead. Around 10-15 pupils travel from north of Kingston. They would need to use route 65 and change buses at Kingston to complete their journey. There would be no changes to routes 65, 281, 406 or 418. 2 The consultation The consultation was designed to enable us to understand local opinion about the proposed changes to route 691.

  • SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL and ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan Storms Into City Hall

    SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL and ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan Storms Into City Hall

    SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL AND ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan storms into City Hall Robert Gordon Clark Executive Chairman Sadiq Khan has been elected as Mayor of London with a comprehensive 57%-43% victory over Conservative Zac Goldsmith after second preference votes. He also returned the biggest ever first preference vote (1,148,716) for a mayoral candidate against the highest ever mayoral election turnout (45.6%). For Khan, the uber-campaigner who managed Labour’s success in London local elections in 2014 and in the capital’s 73 seats at the General Election last year, this is the pinnacle of his electoral achievements to date and confirmation should anyone need it that London is now a solidly left leaning city and one at ease with electing a first Muslim Mayor. Meanwhile the race for third was as tight as predicted with the Green Party’s Sian Berry repeating the party’s third place of 2012 with 6% of first preference votes, narrowly ahead of the Lib Dems’ Caroline Pidgeon on 5%. UKIP’s Peter Whittle was fifth with 4% followed by Sophie Walker of the Women’s Equality Party on 2%. Khan’s energy and enthusiasm for the mayoralty was evident right from the start of Labour’s selection contest where he overcame frontrunner Tessa Jowell. Hustings victory then morphed seamlessly into a mayoral campaign where he was much quicker than Goldsmith in activating party supporters and hitting the streets and airwaves with his vision for London. He also zoomed in on parts of the capital and communities where predecessor Ken Livingstone struggled in 2008 and 2012.
